# smithtek-node-red-meter The meter node multi function node for: A: Recording run hours. this could be a machine, device, pump,motor. B: Totalizer that can convert pulses into totals.This could be a water flow meter, energy meter to name a few. The package contains 3 modules . `Metering` `Multiply` `Reset` ## Installation Using node red palette manager search for "Smithtek-node-red-meter" Or CMD npm install smithtek-node-red-meter ## Configuration `Metering Node` - Data Store `Save to:` The data can be stored to persistent context. The data will remain after restarts for the period required. - Meter Type: `run Hours ` `totalizer` `Signal start` You can select `string,bool,number` to trigger the recorder When in `Run Hour mode` the value increments in `seconds`. Additional nodes will be required to convert this to minutes or hours. when in `totalizer mode` the neter will multiply the incoming value by the setpoint value adjustable in the config properties. `Signal stop` You can select `string,bool,number` stop the recorder ## Configuration `Reset Node` connect the `reset node` to the `metering node` send any message to the reset node. This will clear the recorded values. ## Configuration `Multiplier Node` When the metering node is configured to be a `Totalizer` connect the `multiplier node` to the `metering node` Send a message payload with a number. this will overide the multiplier property setting. Example : Your flow meter pulses once every `10` litres. you set the multiplier value to `10`. ## Note The record value can be save even node-red is restarted ## Input - Record time: - reset signal: to reset `global/flow` variable to 0 - start signal: start record time - stop signal: stop record time - Record pulse: - reset signal: to reset `global/flow` variable to 0 - set multiplier: to set multiplier value - input pulse aka msg from physical hardware or upstream nodes. ## Outputs - Record time: When the node is recording time, it will send the output value every second. - Record pulse: The Input message will throughput to the output. ### License Copyright (c) 2020 www.smithtek.com.au Licenced under the terms of the GPLv3 THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.
